ok so if my buddy had .75 cc of spore solution in his syrnge, and he made a half pint of honey water and microwaved it a few times for 5 minutes, let it cool etc, you figure instead of innocing the honey water he could just suck the honey water into the syrnge his remaining spore solution was in and let it incubate and culture in the syrnge?

just a thought...he may try it if it seems worthy in the eyes of some people more inclined to the subject.

karo doesn't carmalize as easy as honey
for a liquid myc tek you need
1) a pc
2)100 ml water
3)1 Tablespoon karo/light corn syrup/honey
4)polyfill stuffing
-mix karo and water together in a 1/2 pint jar
-poke one hole in the center of the lid, fill hole with polyfill.
-place lid on jar, rubber seal up. cover top with tin foil.
-pc for 20 min
-inject with spore solution (.75 cc is a little low, but should work)
-incubate at 83 just like you would a pf jar or anything else.
in a few days you will have a decent clump of white floatey myc
it's the easiest thing in the world for a newbie cultivator.
and colinization is much quicker than with multispore innoc.
the funny part is that peeps are selling karo jars for like $40 on ebay.
do it man

Also you dont need alot of syringes, just make the jar, and pull one syringe at a time out of it when you need it. The jar of mycelium should stay good for a while in the fridge (i think, i havent actually stored them that long...)

I like honey over karo... Maily because you can see whn the food is gone and you know to pop it in the fridge...

I microwave on high for 5 min using plastic lids for pints... It boils for the last min in my microwave and no carmelization...

- To answer the original question, you could do it that way but it would be more efficent to do at least a 1/2 pint (if you do a smaller size jar might want to microwave a lil less... Why not get the most bang for your buck? I could see for faster colonization... If your in that much of a hurry suck it up in the syringe and when you have myc make a honey jar and use 1cc in there... When I do honey water with myc syringes in pints I get full colonization in 2 weeks normally...
